Jan. 22nd, 2026 01:34 pmI dreamed I was wearing the old costume, the flat cap with long coat. I had long hair in the dream which was unusual; it felt symbolic of a lack of self care/attention. I felt energized within myself, and I was doing funny, amusing things and making people laugh. I was exploring a place that felt like a mall/school. There was a point where I had to sneak through a tight tunnel that was inside of a school locker; basically a tall, narrow opening. I had some sense that I was in Japan, maybe. Or just that there were a lot of Japanese food vendors in this mall food court. I was looking at various sushi on display, but I didn’t speak any Japanese so I wasn’t sure how to ask for it. I felt shy so I just avoided trying to ask. At some point I wandered into a closed up ballroom/cathedral/stage area. It felt grand and massive. It was dark and empty, unused. I was captivated by the impressive space. Being in it alone, in the dim light, was oddly peaceful. Then I noticed there was a balcony and I was able to look down over a busy pub. I saw members of my family there, aunts and uncles. They saw me and pointed and waved. I made my way down there. I saw Sharon, who was with a woman, and the woman asked me how long I’d had that hat. I told her I’d had it over ten years, they are sturdy hats, and she should get one.
I woke up from the dream and I felt good. Like, wow, I haven’t had a dream with the coat and hat in a long time. Maybe years. It's hard to believe that 2020 was years ago at this point. I feel like that was around the last time I had those kinds of dreams. A lot has happened since then. Many changes.
Took an iron supplement this morning. First time taking one. I'm probably just being overly hopeful but I actually feel a little more genki this afternoon than I usually do. I may also look into trying iron patches since I learned that I shouldn't be taking it with dairy, which I did this morning. Oops.
Today is warm, sunny, pleasant. The calm before the storm. Winter is coming. How many more cliches can I put in here? Seriously, though. I'm in the "prepare to..." swatch of the country that is about to get walloped by a winter storm. It might legitimately suck for the next week or even longer if it stays below freezing. Which it seems like it's going to, ugh. I left upstate NY to get away from this shit, haha. Alas.
